Hey, #AcademicChatter#phdsky just wanted you to know that those people want me dead and my nation erased from existence.
If you know any of them personally - tell them that I wish them and their families to experience what we in Ukraine live through.

For all their supposed "intelligence", these people fall for the Russian narrative that Russia is a Pavlovian dog incapable of choice and if Ukr is admitted to NATO then Russia will helplessly react with nuclear force. They need to grow up. 🙄
It really pisses me off that so many people believe if NATO launches the first nuclear weapon, it will be NATO's fault for causing a nuclear war (true) and if Russia launches the first nuclear weapon it will also be NATO's fault for causing a nuclear war (as if Russia has no agency). 😡
it's also so idiotic that these people seem to think the aggression hinges on Ukraine's pursuit of NATO membership. like if they stopped, ruzzia would just go back to being a friendly neighbor who respects sovereign borders.
So many Americans still think Ruzzia thinks and acts and prioritizes what we prioritize. When they are actually literally a conquesting empire. The excuse of "NATO expansion" is a good distraction BECAUSE it works on the west! Their lies are effective because they've been practicing for decades.
